Description

A configuration option should be added to select which of gzip/deflate/bzip2 are allowed in a particular context.

The will enable server owners to work around existing and future issues that may arise in certain user agents not working correctly with compression schemes they claim to support by using regular expressions that match against particular user agent headers. E.g. Force IE 6 to use deflate rather than gzip as it has bugs with gzip.

P.s. mod_deflate is also missing from the components list in trac.
